May 21, 1738. Remonstrance. 1p.
No. 38/65. See 38/64.
(A rare morsel for voluptuaries in litigation, as the contents touch on baptismal,
nuptial and funeral formalities all in one simple plea.)
Parties: André Carrière, husband of Madame de St. Martin, daughter of late Sieur
St. Martin and Dame Marianne Hervieux, now the wife of Sieur Gallard Chamilly;
and the said R. C. as husband of said Dame Marianne H. Mr. G. C. pleads for the
validity of inventory at issue, drawn up informally because there was no local
notary.
Let André Carrière's contentions be set aside; or allow G: C. time to prove date of nuptial benediction.
No note by court.
[Handwritten notes on this remonstrance above] Age checks. This makes it seem
unlikely that 1738 is correct date for this document I feel. 1743 seems more
likely. André would still not have attained majority of 25.
May 22, 1738. Letter of Rullierd to Rasteau.
(Place not stated). 1p.

Requesting Mr. Rasteau to send him, "by my little canoe," 2 barrels of pitch,
one barrel of tar and 50 lbs. of nails.
(Since he expects to be "ready to cross, the weather favoring, within a fortnight,"
the letter was possibly written at some site across Lake Pontchartrain.)
